Satisfied Mind

Jeff Buckley

(J.Hayes/J.Rhodes)

This is a traditional folk song that has been sung by many artists, as The Byrds in Turn! Turn! Turn! or Joan Baez in Farewell Angelina

How many times have you heard someone say

If I had money, I'd do things my way,

But little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old

A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life is over and my time has run out.

My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt.

But, one thing's gone for certain, when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

Satisfied mind.

About this Song

Satisfied Mind by Jeff Buckley is a heartfelt exploration of life's true wealth, emphasizing that real richness comes from contentment rather than material success. Key themes in the song include the transient nature of wealth, the importance of inner peace, and the idea that happiness is found in appreciating the simple, meaningful aspects of life. Particularly poignant moments occur when Buckley reflects on how a ‘satisfied mind’ holds more value than gold or riches, underscoring the song’s central message about the deeper fulfillment found in a content soul.
